Best shooting ranges by State

[sconnieVLP]

Only a handful of places for a mile in the entire state of NC. And yes you’ll pay the private membership prices. I am blessed to have a place I can shoot out to 1300 privately 7 days a week

I’m in NC and belong to Coleman’s Creek. For what you get out there plus the “big boy rules” atmosphere I really don’t have an issue with what they charge for the annual membership. Would I love to have somewhere free and private like you describe? 100% - just not in the cards for me.

I just moved here this past June and it’s the first assignment I’ve been near a facility anything remotely like Coleman’s.

In OK, probably Red Castle. Members only but pretty cheap at $130 per year. Long waiting list to get in. North of Sand Springs on the famed Zink Ranch. Skeet, Trap, Sporting Clays, Plinking range (full auto if you want) Pistol range, Don't know what they call it but 3 gun old west town, 200 meter rimfire/pistol range with pistol silhouettes. 200 yard sight in range, Full military match range with target butts, covered positions on that range that you can get about 685 yards. Also has a full rifle silhouette setup. They do a 1000 yard shoot once per month, but just for a military match. Full clubhouse that all members can access and use for events. We also have an indoor pistol/smallbore range in Tulsa, which does have a small use fee.

The membership is not badly priced for what you get. I’m about the move to FL though so I’m sure I’ll be missing the atmosphere real soon.

I just use my land as my range, here in Michgan not heard of many over maybe 150 yards though. My longest shot maybe 120 yards most of my hunting is 85 to 100 yards. Few ranges offer any "long" range distances.
Plus for me no Fees and others to deal with checking targets. (but the cost of gas to get there 225 miles) so that might the "fee" cost? Which is okay at least for me.
Not read any post about Michigan in this thread yet.

Anyone know of any long range rifle ranges in Florida? Reasonable distance from Tampa?

I was in that area for a bit maybe 8 years ago and shot at manatee, they have longer range stuff.

You name it, they've got it.

My dad competed in high power rifle and bullseye pistol. He was an original member when the club started so I've always been a member. I don't shoot there much except to verify zero on my rifle for the occasional gun elk hunt. When my grandson visits he likes to go.
Some of my favorite childhood memories were going to the club when the National Guard guys would bring dynamite to blow rock out for building/expanding the shooting berms. I also worked the pit and pulled and marked targets on the high power range.
Growing up it seemed like it took forever to drive there, maybe 30 miles of country roads. Now I live less than 10 min away.

Northern Colorado - Estes Park Gun & Archery Club (private), about 10 min east of Estes. 100 yd paper range, 25 yd pistol paper & steel range, archery range & 3d targets and most importantly rifle range with steel to 400 running up into the hill in a draw. Also theres an indoor range in town for pistol but I've never been.

What kinda hoops do they make you jump through?

Attend 3 Monthly meetings (2+ hrs long, hr drive 1 way for me to get there), get a member to sponsor you, Do a guided range tour. Initial membership fee is pretty healthy. Then, if you forget to renew before Jan 1st, you have to do all that shit again and pay the healthy first time fee again. I forgot to renew timely one year and wasn't about to burn 16+ hrs and pay the fee again when i only went there a few times a year.

Hard to beat that.

I can’t speak to all the private ranges but the best public range in Nebraska is the Heartland Shooting Park in Grand Island.
